Runway Calculator

How long until the money runs out

Runway = Cash ÷ Monthly Burn. Simple formula, but the inputs require honesty.

Calculate Your Burn

Monthly expenses: payroll, rent, software, contractors, taxes, everything. Don't forget quarterly or annual expenses—divide by 12 and include them.

Conservative vs Optimistic

Conservative: Assume no new revenue. How long can you survive on what you have?

Optimistic: Include expected revenue. But discount it—not all deals close, not all clients pay on time.

Decision Points

6+ months: Comfortable. 3-6 months: Concerning, start cost-cutting. Under 3 months: Crisis mode.

Extending Runway

Cut expenses (fastest). Accelerate collections (invoice faster, shorter terms). Line of credit (buy time). Revenue push (risky if desperate).
